A gross dividend of EUR 2.77 per share (excluding treasury shares) was proposed by the Board of Directors on March 4, 2021. It will be submitted to the shareholders for approval at the general meeting. The appropriation of income has not been recognized in the financial statements as of December 31, 2020.

On December 31, 2020 the treasury shares, resulting from the merger with ALLFIN, remain valued at the share price on June 29, 2016, which was the date of the merger.

The currency translation adjustments are related to Polish entities for which the functional currency is in zloty.

E. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND METHODS

1) GENERAL INFORMATION

IMMOBEL (hereafter named the "Company") is a limited company incorporated in Belgium. The address of its registered office is Rue de la Régence 58 at 1000 Brussels.

2) STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH IFRS

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted in the European Union. The Board of Directors settled the consolidated financial statements and approved their publication on March 4, 2021.

3) PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of EUR.

They are prepared on the historical cost basis, except for some financial instruments which are measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies below.

GOING CONCERN

Considering the impact of COVID 19 on the economic circumstances and on the current financial performance of the company, the Board of Directors re-assessed the going concern assumption of the company on March 4, 2021 based on the FY 2021 budget.

In this context of crisis, the Group has paid particular attention to adequately reflect the current and expected impact of the COVID-19 situation on the financial position, performance and cash-flows of the company, applying the IFRS accounting principles in a consistent manner.

  • General business performance

Covid-19 is currently still having an impact on the activity of the company and the sector as a whole mainly with respect to progress in permitting as well as for office related commercial activities.

  • Impairment losses on non-financial assets

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group assessed whether its non-financial assets, in particular goodwill arisen from the acquisition of Nafilyan & Partners, could be impaired. The Group thus carried out an analysis of indicators of potential impairment, in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets.

The slow-down of the sales, also observed in France, has been considered by management as a trigger event, especially in this COVID-19 context. An impairment test was carried out based on the revised business plan, noting no impairment risk as per 31 December 2020 – see note 13.

  • Valuation of financial assets and expected credit losses

The COVID-19 crisis gives rise to a potentially increased credit risk and may therefore affect the amount of impairment losses to be recognized in respect of expected credit losses. The Group has therefore monitored payment receipts and counterparty risk more closely, noting no significant deterioration. The impact of the "expected credit losses" (ECL) remains immaterial, especially since a physical asset can be considered, in most cases, as a collateral (guarantee) in the assessment.

With regards to the inventories (projects to be developed), the assumptions used to assess the recoverability of the project under development have been consistently reviewed and updated based on the most recent market data, without significant impact. No impairments have been identified as per December 31, 2020.

  • Financial risks (financing, liquidity, compliance with financial ratio)

Financial risks have been monitored carefully.

As a buffer against this market conditions the company has a cash position of EUR 148 million at the end of December 2020, available corporate lines of EUR 76 million, non-issued Commercial Paper for an amount of EUR 26.5 million and substantial headroom on its main debt covenants.

Liquidity risk and trends in interest rate and exchange rate markets, have been reviewed and the related information has been updated based on data available at December 31, 2020 – see note 25.

  • Deferred tax assets

Immobel's deferred tax asset positions were reviewed in order to ensure their recoverability through future taxable income. The Group also monitored changes to legislation, revisions to tax rates and other tax measures taken in response to the crisis.

The company did not identify significant impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the estimated future taxable profit.

  • Provisions

The Group reviewed whether any current obligations were likely to give rise to the recognition of provisions, noting no specific risk.

  • Performance indicators and presentation of COVID-19 impacts in the income statement

The financial impacts of the crisis were rather limited, except in terms of pace of sales, which slowed down, and progress on construction sites.

The Group has neither adjusted its performance indicators, nor included new indicators to describe the impacts of COVID-19.

  • Application of support measures

In Belgium, as well as in other countries, the Group utilized government temporary unemployment schemes and deferred the disbursement of some tax debts, all being paid as per December 31, 2020.

  • Subsequent events

Given the uncertainties related to the health crisis and the constantly changing environment, the Group paid particular attention to events that occurred during the period from December 31, 2020 until the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors – see note 32.

  • Going concern

Actuals have shown that the crisis has impacted Immobel financial results to a lower extent than in the stress case developed by management in April 2020. Based on the FY 2021 budget, management re-assessed the going concern assumption of the company and confirmed it remains appropriate.

4) CONSOLIDATION RULES

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as interests in joint ventures and in associated companies accounted for using the equity method.

All intragroup balances, transactions, revenue and expenses are eliminated.

SUBSIDIARIES

Subsidiaries are companies controlled by the Group.

Control is achieved when the Company:

  • has power over the investee;
  • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
  • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when control begins until the date when control ends.

INTERESTS IN JOINT VENTURES

A joint venture is a contractual agreement whereby the Group and one or several parties agree to undertake an economic activity under joint control. The joint venture agreement generally results in the creation of one or more distinct jointly controlled entities.

Since January 1, 2014, joint ventures, which were previously consolidated using the proportional method, are included in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method.

INTERESTS IN ASSOCIATES

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence through its participation in their financial and operating policy decisions. They are neither subsidiaries, nor joint ventures of the Group.

Significant influence is presumed if the Group, directly or indirectly, holds 20 % or more but less than 50 % of the voting rights through its subsidiaries.

Interests in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method, from the date when significant influence begins until the date when it ends. The book value of interests is decreased, if applicable, so as to record any impairment of individual interests.

DIFFERENT REPORTING DATES

The financial statements of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates with reporting dates other than 31 December (reporting date of the Company) are adjusted so as to take into account the effect of significant transactions and events that occurred between the reporting date of the subsidiary, joint venture or associate and 31 December. The difference between 31 December and the reporting date of the subsidiary, joint venture or associate never exceeds 3 months.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND GOODWILL

IMMOBEL analyses any acquisition of subsidiaries based on IFRS 3 and integrates the criteria suggested by IFRS 3 §B5 to B12 to identify any business combination and to define a business. In accordance with IFRS 3, if the acquired assets do not constitute a business, the acquisition is treated as an "acquisition of assets".

GOODWILL

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the Group's share in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired entity at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is reported as an asset and is not amortised but annually subject to an impairment in value test at reporting date (or more frequently if there are indications of loss in value). Impairment losses are recognised immediately under income and are not reversed in subsequent periods.

Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of a joint venture or an associate is included in the book value of the investments in joint ventures and associates. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of a subsidiary is presented separately in the balance sheet.

On disposal of a subsidiary, a joint venture or an associate, the book value of the goodwill is included so as to determine the profit or loss on the disposal.

NEGATIVE GOODWILL

Negative goodwill represents the excess of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary over the price of business combination at the date of acquisition, plus the value of non-controlling interests (owned by minority shareholders of subsidiaries). To the extent that a surplus subsists after review and re-evaluation of the values, the negative goodwill is immediately recognised in profit and loss.

5) FOREIGN CURRENCIES

TRANSLATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF FOREIGN ENTITIES

The balance sheets of foreign companies are translated in EUR at the official year-end exchange rate and income statements are translated at the average exchange rate for the financial year.

Translation differences resulting therefrom are included under shareholders' equity under "translation differences". Upon disposal of an entity, translation differences are recognised in profit and loss.

TRANSACTIONS OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES IN GROUP COMPANIES

Transactions are first recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. At each end of the financial year, monetary assets and liabilities are converted at the exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Gains or losses resulting from this conversion are recorded as financial result.

6) INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets are recorded in the balance sheet if it is likely that the expected future economic benefits which may be allocated to assets will flow to the entity and if the cost of the assets can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses.

Intangible assets are amortised using the straight-line method on the basis of the best estimate of their useful lives. The amortisation period and method are reviewed at each reporting date.

7) GOODWILL

Goodwill is initially recognised and measured as set out above.

Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units (or groups of cashgenerating units) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

On disposal of a cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

8) TANGIBLE ASSETS

Tangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Fixed assets are depreciated prorata temporis on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Useful lives have been determined as follows:

  • buildings: 20 to 50 years,
  • furniture and equipment: 3 to 10 years,
  • installations, complexes, machinery and specific equipment's: 5 to 20 years.

Land has an unlimited useful life and therefore it is not depreciated.

Subsequent expenses related to tangible assets are only capitalised if it is likely that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity and if the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Buildings under construction for manufacturing, leasing or administrative purposes are recorded at cost less any impairment loss. Depreciation of these assets begins when the assets are ready to be used.

9) INVESTMENT PROPERTY

Investment property is measured in accordance with the cost model of IAS 40 - Investment property. They represent real property (land and/or buildings under construction or available) held by the Group so as to earn rent and/or create value for property rather than use or sell them. They mainly relate to buildings acquired to be redeveloped and which are rented until the beginning of development.

Investment property is amortized over a period until the beginning of development, at which time they are transferred to inventories, and taking into account a residual value estimated at that date.

10) LEASES

AS A LESSEE

The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract With respect to all lease arrangements in which the Group is the lessee, a lease liability (i.e. a liability to make lease payments) will be recognized, as well as a right-of-use asset (i.e. an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term), except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (such as tablets and personal computers, small items of office furniture and telephones). For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.

The Group's leased assets relate mainly to buildings and transportation equipment. The right-of-use assets are presented separately in the consolidated statement of financial position, and the lease liabilities are presented as part of financial debt.

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at the amount of the lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee. Adjustments may also be required for lease incentives, payments at or prior to commencement and restoration obligations or similar.

After lease commencement, the right-of-use asset is measured using a cost model.

Under the cost model a right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Rightof-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.

The Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described under section 17 hereunder.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease if that can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate.

The lease liability is subsequently remeasured to reflect changes in:

  • the lease term (using a revised discount rate);
  • the assessment of a purchase option (using a revised discount rate);
  • the amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees (using an unchanged discount rate); or
  • future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments (using an unchanged discount rate).

The remeasurements are treated as adjustments to the right-of-use asset.

AS A LESSOR

The Group enters into lease agreements as a lessor with respect to its investment properties. These mainly relate to buildings acquired to be redeveloped and which are rented until the beginning of development. These contracts are classified as operating leases.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

11) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group's balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The financial assets include the investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss, loans to related parties, receivables including trade receivables and other receivables, derivative financial instruments, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, cash and cash equivalents.

The acquisitions and sales of financial assets are recognised at the transaction date.

FINANCIAL ASSETS – DEBT INSTRUMENTS

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Debt instruments include

  • Receivables that are measured at amortised cost (advances to joint ventures and associates, other non-current financial assets, contract assets);
  • Trade receivables measured at amortised cost;
  • Cash and cash equivalents. Cash includes cash at bank and current financial accounts with non-consolidated companies. Cash equivalents consist of risk-free investments with maturities of up to three months or which can be converted into cash almost immediately. These items are recorded in the statement of financial position at their nominal value. Bank overdrafts are included in current financial liabilities. These items are recorded in the statement of financial position at their nominal value.

FINANCIAL ASSETS – INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY INSTRUMENTS

On initial recognition, the Group made an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate investments in equity instruments as at fair value through profit and loss account. Investments in equity instruments at fair value through profit and loss account are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in the income statement.

AMORTISED COST AND EFFECTIVE INTEREST METHOD

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period.

For financial instruments other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses, through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition.

The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. On the other hand, the gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING TRANSACTIONS

The Group has elected to adopt the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments where the hedging instrument and the hedged item match based on an assessment of the effectiveness of the hedge.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives and other qualifying hedging instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss, in the 'other gains and losses' line item.

IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

In relation to the impairment of financial assets, an expected credit loss model is applied. The expected credit loss model requires the Group to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial assets. Specifically, the following assets are included in the scope for impairment assessment for the Group: 1) trade receivables; 2) current and non-current receivables and loans to related parties; 3) contract assets; 4) cash and cash equivalents.

IFRS 9 requires the Group to measure the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. On the other hand, if the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group is required to measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses. For long term receivables, IFRS 9 provides a choice to measure expected credit losses applying lifetime or 12 month expected credit losses model. The Group selected the lifetime expected credit loss model.

The expected credit loss is assessed for each financial asset on an individual basis and is generally immaterial in view of the fact that a physical asset can be considered as a collateral (guarantee) in the assessment of the expected credit loss : trade receivables generally relate to the sales of residential units under construction and advances to associates and joint ventures relate to financing projects under development.

DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

All financial liabilities of the Group are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded at the amount of cash obtained, after deduction of any transaction costs. After initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the consideration received and the redemption value is recognized in income over the period of the loan using the effective interest rate.

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY

Issue costs that may be directly allocated to an equity transaction are recorded as a deduction from equity. As a consequence, capital increases are recorded at the proceeds received, net of issue costs. Similarly, equity transactions on own participation are recognised directly under shareholders' equity.

CASH FLOWS

Cash flows are inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents.

Operating activities are the principal revenue-producing activities of the entity and other activities that are not investing or financing activities. Acquisitions and sales of projects, either directly through the purchase of sale of assets, or indirectly through the acquisition or sale of project companies, are considered as operating activities and are presented as part of the cash flows from operating activities. All project acquisitions are considered operational activities, whether the project is classified in inventory or in investment property if it is leased prior to its development.

Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash equivalents.

Financing activities are activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the contributed equity and borrowings of the entity.

12) INVENTORIES

Inventories are measured at cost of the specific asset or net realisable value, whichever is lower. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated completion costs and costs to sell.

The acquisition cost of purchased goods includes acquisition cost and incidental expenses. For finished goods and work in progress, the cost price takes into account direct expenses and a portion of production overhead without including administrative and financial expenses.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated cost necessary to make the sale. The impairment in value or loss on inventories to bring them to their net realisable value is recognised as an expense in the year when the impairment in value or loss occurs.

The interests incurred during construction are capitalised. The costs of borrowings are activated depending on the nature of the funding. The cost of funding defined as "project financing" are fully allocated to projects funded. The costs of "Corporate" and "Bonds" financing are partially allocated based on an allocation key taking into account the projects under development and the amounts invested. The activation of the borrowing costs stops as soon as the project is on sale.

13) PROVISIONS

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, when it is likely that an outflow of resources will be necessary to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation if necessary.

WARRANTIES

A provision for warranties is made when underlying products or services are sold. The measurement of the provision is based on historical data and by weighing all possible outcomes to which probabilities are associated (expected value method).

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS

Contingent liabilities, which occurrence is not probably, are not recognized as a provision and are mentioned in the notes to the financial statements, provided that the risk is significant.

Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements.

14) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

The Group operates a defined-benefit pension plan and a defined-contribution pension plan.

  • « Defined-contribution » pension plan
  • Contributions to these pension plans are recognized as an expense in the income statement when incurred.
  • « Defined-benefit » pension plan

For such a plan, the cost of corresponding commitments is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with present values being calculated at year end.

The amount recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of commitments in terms of the defined benefit pension plans, less the fair value of plan assets and costs of rendered services not yet recognised. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of possible payments for the Group and the decreases in future contributions to the plan.

Actuarial gains and losses are directly recorded in the other elements of comprehensive income and are presented in the statement of comprehensive income.

BONUSES

Bonuses granted to company employees and senior executives are based on targets relating to key financial indicators. The estimated amount of bonuses is recognized as an expense in the year to which they relate.

15) GRANTS RELATED TO ASSETS OR INVESTMENT SUBSIDIES

Received government grants related to assets or investment subsidies are recognised in the balance sheet (presented under other long-term liabilities or other short-term liabilities) as deferred income. They are recognised as income in the same way as the asset margin to which they relate

16) OPERATING REVENUE

Group revenue comes mainly from Real Estate Development activities (including Project Management services) and also from lease agreements.

Under IFRS 15, revenue must be recognised when the customer gains control of the goods or services sold, for a sum which reflects what the entity expects to receive for the goods or services.

The main categories of sale contracts used by the Group comprise:

SALES OF OFFICE BUILDINGS

In accordance with IFRS 15, IMMOBEL assesses on a case-by-case basis:

  • Whether the agreement, the contract or the transaction falls within the scope of IFRS 15, including by taking into account the probability of the entity recovering the consideration to which it is entitled;
  • Whether, under a contract, the sale of the land, the development and the commercialisation represent distinct performance obligations;
  • Whether, for each obligation, the revenue is subject to a gradual transfer of control, particularly for projects which satisfy the third criterion defined by IFRS 15.36 ("Performance creating a specific asset and giving rise to an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date"), and must be recognised gradually.

SALES OF RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS

For "Residential" projects, the analysis has distinguished the revenue from contracts for which the contractual provisions and the legal context (Breyne Act in Belgium or equivalent in Luxembourg, France and Germany) establish a gradual transfer of the control of the asset to the purchaser as the construction progresses from the other revenue linked to the completion of an obligation.

Projects involving residential units - Breyne Act contracts (Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Germany)

The legal framework in Belgium and Luxembourg gradually transfers the ownership of a residential unit to the purchaser during the construction period. In such a situation, the performance obligation is fulfilled gradually since control over the asset is transferred as the construction progresses.

A single margin (with no distinction between "land" and "development") is recognised gradually for each sale as the asset under development is transferred.

Projects involving residential units - other provisions (Poland)

The regulatory framework in Poland requires to recognise the revenue upon completion of the performance obligation (upon the signing of the final deed, once the unit being sold is delivered).

Other sales of residential projects

Other types of sale may occur (block sale of a project, hotel, commercial space, etc.). Such transactions are therefore subject to an analysis on a case-by-case basis using an approach similar to that described for the "Office" schemes.

LANDBANKING

For this segment, the sales revenue is recorded when the asset is transferred.

The revenue from the sale of a project is recognized in gross (sales price and cost of sales) regardless of the structure of the transaction (share deal / asset deal). Disposals of controlled companies dedicated to a project are therefore considered part of the normal business of the Group and are therefore recognized in sales and cost of sales (IFRS 15). In other circumstances, IFRS 10 will be applied.

The method of legal ownership has no impact on the recognition of the margin but on its presentation, which will differ depending on whether it is:

  • Direct property, subsidiary: the results are recorded in sales and cost of sales irrespective of the legal structure of ownership of the asset;
  • Joint ventures: in accordance with IFRS 11, when a partnership gives rise to joint control over net assets, IMMOBEL recognizes an investment for its interest in the joint venture and recognizes it using the equity method (IAS 28). The result of the sales is therefore presented under the heading "Share in the profit or loss of joint ventures and associates"
  • Joint activities: in accordance with IFRS 11, in the case of a partnership under which the parties exercising joint control have asset rights, and liability obligations, IMMOBEL recognizes assets, liabilities and results for its jointly held share.

When the group loses control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business as defined by IFRS 3 and retains an investment (partial sale of a company dedicated to a project), the transaction is treated as a transaction between an investor and its associate or joint venture and the gain or loss is recognised only to the extent of unrelated investors' interest in the associate or joint venture.

With respect to operating leases, rent is recognised under income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, even if payments are not made on this basis. Lease incentives granted by the Group in negotiating or renewing an operating lease are recognised as a reduction of the lease income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rent income are presented as other operating income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

17) IMPAIRMENT ON VALUE ASSETS

The carrying amount of non-current assets (other than financial assets in the scope of IFRS 9, deferred taxes and non-current assets held for sale) is reviewed at the end of each reporting period in order to determine if an indication exists that an asset has impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is then determined. Regarding intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated at the end of each reporting period. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset or the cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are presented in the income statement.

When the recoverable amount cannot be individually determined for an asset, including goodwill, it is measured at the level of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is its fair value less selling costs or its use value, whichever is higher. The latter is the present value of expected future cash flows from the asset or the respective cash generating unit. In order to determine the value in use, the future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate which reflects both the current market rate and the specific risks of the asset.

A reversal of impairment loss is recognised under income if the recoverable amount exceeds the net book value. However, the reversal may not lead to a higher book value than the value that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been initially recorded on this asset (cash-generating unit). No reversal of impairment loss is recognized on goodwill.

18) TAXES

Income tax for the year includes current and deferred tax. Current and deferred income taxes are recognised in profit and loss unless they relate to items recognised directly under shareholders' equity, in which case they are also recognised under shareholders' equity.

Current tax is the amount of income taxes payable (or recoverable) on the profit (or loss) in a financial year and the adjustments to tax charges of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method of tax allocation, based on timing differences between the book value of assets and liabilities in the consolidated accounts and their tax basis.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable timing differences.

Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible timing differences if it is likely that in the future they may be charged against taxable income. This criterion is re-evaluated at each reporting date.

19) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. Such component represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes. The net result of discontinued operations (including possible results on disposal and taxes) is presented separately from the continued operations in the income statement.

20) MAIN JUDGEMENTS AND MAIN SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTIES RELATED TO THE ESTIMATIONS

The deferred tax assets are only recorded as far that they may be in the future used against taxable income.

The tangible and intangible assets with a fixed useful live are straight line depreciated based on the estimation of the live time of these fixed assets.

Investment properties are amortized using the straight-line method based on an estimate of the duration up to the beginning of the development of the project, date when they are transferred to inventories, and taking into account a residual value estimated at that date.

The goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that one or more cash-generating unit(s) to which the goodwill has been allocated may be impaired.

As part of the impairment tests, the recoverable value of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated based on the present value of the expected cash flows generated by this asset (or cash-generating unit).

For the provisions, the book value fits with the best estimation of the expense necessary to pay off the present obligation (legal or implicit) at closing date.

The projects in inventory and construction contracts are subject to feasibility studies used in determining the net realisable value and any required write down, and if applicable for the release of margin and the computation of the rate of completion. At each closing date, the expenses to be incurred are estimated.

The assessment of the recoverable amount of a project involves assumptions about future events that are inherently subject to change. These assumptions include the expected selling price (depending on the nature of the project, its location, etc…), the estimated total cost per project, the economic market conditions. These assumptions are monitored during the project by the project manager through the update of the feasibility and on a quarterly basis by the management.

The valuation of the revenues from the sale of real estate development involves significant judgments, mainly related to the determination of the existence of an effective contract in accordance with IFRS 15, the assessment of when IMMOBEL meets the performance obligation (at a specific point in time or over time (based on the percentage of completion)), the evaluation of the costs to be incurred and, in case the revenue is recognized at percentage of completion, the determination of the completion rate, taking into account the costs already incurred and the total estimated cost price.

Income from the sale of a project is recognized in gross (sales price and cost of sales) regardless of the structure of the transaction (asset deal / share deal). Disposals of controlled companies dedicated to a project are therefore considered part of the Group's normal business and are therefore recognized as revenue and cost of sales. The Group has decided this presentation taking into account the specificities of its sector and activity.

End December 2019, Immobel was notified with 2 decisions of the Belgian Council of State in a legacy file relating to the purchase of land plots in 2007 from the Université Libre de Bruxelles. A joint venture between Immobel and its partner, Thomas & Piron, obtained in 2014 all necessary building permits for the development of a residential project on the relevant land plot. The decisions of the Council of State of end 2019, however, lead to an annulment of the building permits obtained back in 2014 due to a missing [procedural requirement] at the time of purchase of the land from Université Libre de Bruxelles in 2007. The purchasers of the relevant apartment units were duly informed on the pending legal procedure before the Council of State at the time of purchase of their unit and their purchase deed provides for the right to apply for a judicial rescission of the sale of their unit under certain circumstances, including in case of an untimely regularisation of the relevant building permits. The missing procedural requirement is eligible for regularisation and, at the date hereof, Immobel and its partner Thomas & Piron expect that the financial impact of such right to rescind will not materially impact the financial position of the joint venture partners.

To the Directors' knowledge, there should not be any circumstances likely to have any significant influence on the development of

The Company. With respect to Covid-19 on the economic circumstances and on the financial performance of the company, the Board of Directors assesses on a continuous basis the going concern assumption of the company based on the FY 2021 budget.

21) JOINT OPERATIONS

IMMOBEL considers that the activities carried out under joint control through temporary vehicles, which do not have a legal personality, meet the definition proposed by the standard IFRS 11 of joint operation, which is a joint agreement by which parties that exercise joint control have rights over the assets, and obligations for the liabilities.

As a consequence, the assets, liabilities, income and expense of the temporary vehicles are included in the financial statements of the Group under each relevant heading of the balance sheet and of the income statement in proportion to the share held by the Group in the temporary vehicle.

22) SEGMENT REPORTING

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group, which generates revenues and costs.

The operating results are regularly reviewed by the Management Committee in order to monitor the performance of the various segments in terms of strategic goals, plans and budgets. In this context, the management has opted to follow up the operating results by country.

F. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (IN THOUSANDS EUR)

1) OPERATING SEGMENT - FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The segment reporting is presented based on the operational segments used by the Board and Management to monitor the financial performance of the Group, being the geographical segments (by country). The choice made by Management to focus on geographical segment rather than on other possible operating segments is motivated by the new investments or projects in several new countries, which made this criterion more relevant for the follow up of business and better reflecting the organization of the Group.

The core business of the Group, real estate development, is carried out in Belgium, Luxemburg, France, Germany, Poland and Spain.

The breakdown of sales by country depends on the country where the activity is executed.

The results and asset and liability items of the segments include items that can be attributed to a sector, either directly, or allocated through an allocation formula.

In accordance with IFRS, the Company applied since January 1, 2014, IFRS 11, which strongly amends the reading of the financial statements of the Company but does not change the net income and shareholders' equity.

The Board of Directors believes that the financial data in application of the proportional consolidated method (before IFRS 11) give a better picture of the activities and financial statements.

The "Internal" financial statements are those used by the Board and Management to monitor the financial performance of the Group and are presented below.

2) TURNOVER

The group generates its revenues through commercial contracts for the transfer of goods and services in the following main revenue categories:

Tota l 147 155 223 721 37 908 408 784

The diversification of the Group's "customers" portfolio guarantees its independence in the market.

The developments Mobius I, Vaartkom, Parc Seny, O'sea as well as the landbanking activity, contribute in particular to the turnover in Belgium.

From an international viewpoint, the projects Infinity in Luxembourg, Granaria in Poland and Eden Tower Frankfurt in Germany have also contributed to the turnover.

Revenue on commercial contracts is recognized when the customer obtains control of the goods or services sold for an amount that reflects what the entity expects to receive for those goods and services.

The contractual analysis of the Group's sales contracts led to the application of the following recognition principles:

SALES OF OFFICE BUILDINGS

The revenue from office sale contracts is recognized after analysis on a case-by-case basis of the performance obligations stipulated in the contract (land, buildings, commercialisation). The revenue allocated to each performance obligation is recognized:

  • either upon progress of completion when the goods or services are the subject to a gradual transfer of control;
  • or at the transfer of control of goods or services rendered.

As of December 31, 2020, no "Office" contract organizing a gradual transfer of control is in progress.

RESIDENTIAL PROJECT SALES

For "Residential" projects, revenue is recognized according to the contractual and legal provisions in force in each country to govern the transfer of control of projects sold in the future state of completion.

  • Belgium / Luxembourg / France / Germany: upon progress of completion based on costs incurred (Breyne Act or equivalent);
  • Poland: when the performance obligation is fulfilled (at the signing of the final act, once the sold unit has been delivered).

LANDBANKING

The sales revenue is generally recorded when the asset is transferred.

The breakdown of sales according to these different recognition principles is as follows:

TOTAL TURNOVER 185 163 223 621 408 784

Revenues relating to performance obligations unrealized or partially realized at 31 December 2020 amounted to EUR 57,6 million.

It mainly concerns the sales of residential units of which construction is in progress (for the totality of their value or the unrecognized part based on progress of completion) as well as the sales of offices of which the contract analysis deemed to assume that the recognition criteria were not met under IFRS 15.

13) GOODWILL

The goodwill arises from the acquisition in 2019 of Nafilyan & Partners, an unlisted company based in France that specializes in real estate development.

The acquisition provides to Immobel 100% of the voting shares and the control over Nafilyan & Partners. The acquisition qualifies as a business combination as defined in IFRS 3. The Group has acquired Nafilyan & Partners to enlarge its coverage on the French market by sharing the know-how, expertise and potential synergies with Immobel France.

The reconciliation of the carrying amount of the goodwill at beginning and end of the reporting period is as follows:

31/12/2020 31/12/2019
ACQUISITION COST AT THE END OF THE PREVIOUS PERIOD 43 789
Acquisition of Nafilyan & Partners 43 789

IMPAIRMENT AT THE END OF THE PREVIOUS PERIOD
Impairment of the period
IMPAIRMENT AT THE END OF THE YEAR
NET CARRYING AMOUNT AS AT 31 DECEMBER 43 789 43 789

31/12/2020 31/12/2019
France 43 789 43 789
NET CARRYING AMOUNT AS AT 31 DECEMBER 43 789 43 789

Immobel Group tests goodwill annually for impairment, or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill might be impaired.

The recoverable amount of the French segment as a cash-generating unit (including currently known projects and assumed future projects) is determined based on a value in use calculation which uses cash flow projections, based on a "Dividend Discount Model" covering a five-year period, in order to evaluate the equity

This valuation allows to estimate the future dividend payments, discounted back to their present value.

This Net Present Value is hence considering:

  • a cash flow forecast from 2020 to 2025, allowing to estimate future dividend;
  • with a fixed growth rate of dividend until perpetuity at 2% ("Long term growth rate");
  • with an actualisation rate1 , here below as "cost of equity", made of a risk free rate (at 1.14 per cent2 ), a market premium (between 4 and 6 per cent) and an industry beta levered (between 1.14 and 1.31)

Nine simulations have supported the impairment analysis, based on different combinations, as per below:

Long term growth rate 2,00%
with a risk free rate 1,14%
Cost of Equity
Beta Beta Market Premium
unlevered levered 4,00% 5,00% 6,00%
0,65 1,14 5,7% 6,8% 8,0%
0,70 1,23 6,0% 7,3% 8,5%
0,75 1,31 6,4% 7,7% 9,0%

As a result of this analysis, the fair value exceeds the carrying value, regardless the level of cost of equity considered. Therefore, the management has decided not to recognize any impairment charge in the current year against goodwill.

1 As per following formula: (Risk free rate) + [ (market premium) * (industry beta levered) ]

2 based on OLO 30 years, average of year 2019 from NBB (National Bank of Belgium).

The increase of the net carrying value is mainly due to the acquisition of two projects (Total and Scorpio).

The fair value of the investment property at 31 December 2020 amounts to EUR 197.4 million. This amount is determined on the basis of a valuation of level 3 which does not integrate observable market data and is based on internal analyses (feasibility study sensitive to the expected rent after redevelopment, to the estimated rate of return and to the construction costs to incur).

CREDIT RISK

The credit risk is related to the possible failure of the customers in respecting their commitments towards the Group and is considered immaterial, especially since in most cases the asset sold serves as collateral (guarantee).

At 31 December 2019, there was no concentration of credit risk with a sole third party. The maximum risk amounts to the book value of the receivables. However, within the meaning of IFRS 9, there is no expected credit loss that can be deemed significant at that date. The impairments recorded on trade receivables evolve as follows:

31/12/2020 31/12/2019
BALANCE AT 1 JANUARY 473 368
Additions 69 105
MOVEMENTS OF THE YEAR 69 105
BALANCE AT 31 DECEMBER 542 473

23) CONTRACT ASSETS

Contract assets, arising from the application of IFRS 15, refer to the following operational segments:

31/12/2020 31/12/2019
Belgium 9 315 7 278
Luxembourg 7 610 21 060
France 21 108
Germany 19 218 13 890
TOTAL CONTRACT ASSETS 57 251 42 228

The increase of contract assets in France is due to a reclass of trades receivable to contract assets.

Upon initial recognition, the Group measures trade receivables at their transaction price as defined by IFRS 15. Contract assets include the amounts to which the entity is entitled in exchange for goods or services that it already has provided to a customer but for which the payment is not yet due or is subject to the fulfilment of a specific condition provided for in the contract.

When an amount becomes due, it is transferred to the receivable account.

A trade receivable is recognized as soon as the entity has an unconditional right to collect a payment. This unconditional right exists from the moment in time which makes the payment due.

It is expected that the entire amount reflected as at December 31, 2020 will become due and be cashed in fiscal year 2021.

In the same way as trade receivables and other receivables, contract assets are subject to an impairment test in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9 on expected credit losses. This test does not show any significant potential impact since these contract assets (and their related receivables) are generally covered by the underlying assets represented by the building to be transferred.

INTEREST RATE RISK

To hedge its variable interest rate exposure, the company uses variable type of financial instruments. In April 2020, the company entered into an agreement to cap the interest rate at 0,5% for about 75% of the exposure on the variable part of the debt (based on the internal view, i.e. before application of IFRS 11) up to July 1st, 2023. In December 2020, Immobel has entered in a new contract to hedge a variable interest loan. The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to convert a portion of its interest rate exposure from floating rates to fixed rates to reduce the risk of an increase of the EURIBOR interest rate. The notional amount amounts to EUR 30 million. The interest swap replaces the Euribor rate with a fixed interest rate per year on the outstanding amount. The derivative is formally designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge and are recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets in other assets and/or other liabilities. The interest rate swap and debt have same terms.

SITUATION AT 1 JANUARY 291 536
Changes during the period in the consolidated result - 291 - 245

SITUATION AT 31 DECEMBER 560 291

The increase in interest rate would result in an annual increase of the interest charge on debt of EUR 1.549 thousand per 1%-increase for about 25% of the variable part of the debt and maximum EUR 2.323 thousand in total for about 75% of the variable part of the debt to the extent the applicable EURIBOR-rate stands at 0%. Given that current applicable EURIBOR-rates are below 0% the impact of such increase would be even lower than these respective amounts.

INFORMATION ON FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table list the different classes of financial assets and liabilities with their carrying amounts in the balance sheet and their respective fair value and analysed by their measurement category.

The fair value of financial instruments is determined as follows:

  • If their maturity is short-term (e.g.: trade receivables and payables), the fair value is assumed to be similar at amortized cost,
  • For fixed rate debts, based on discounted future cash flows estimated based on market rates at closing,
  • For variable rate debts, the fair value is assumed to be similar at amortized cost,
  • For derivative financial instruments, the fair value is determined on the basis of discounted future cash flows estimated based on curves of forward interest rates. This value is mentioned by the counterparty financial institution.
  • For quoted bonds, on the basis of the quotation at the closing (level 1).

The fair value measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities can be characterized in one of the following ways:

  • Level 1: the fair values of financial assets and liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities,
  • Level 2: the fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable current market transactions and dealer quotes for similar instruments. This mainly relates to derivative financial instruments,
  • Level 3: the fair values of the remaining financial assets and financial liabilities are derived from valuation techniques which include inputs which are not based on observable market data.

INVESTMENT GRADE

The bank accounts are held by banks with 'investment grade' rating (Baa3/BBB- or better).

LIQUIDITY RISK

The Company starts only new projects in case of appropriate financing by corporate, specific financing or pre-sale. Therefore, the cash risk related to the progress of a project is very limited.

FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS

The Group is subject, for bonds and credit lines mentioned hereabove, to a number of financial commitments.

These commitments are taking into account the equity, the net financial debt and its relation with the equity and the

inventories. At 31 December 2020, as for the previous years, the Group was in conformity with all these financial commitments.

RISK OF FLUCTUATION IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES

The Group has a limited hedge on the foreign exchange rates risks on its development activities. The functional currency of the offices activity currently developed in Poland is translated from PLN to EUR (except for Central Point managed in EUR), with an impact on the other comprehensive income.

RISK MANAGEMENT RELATED TO THE CAPITAL

IMMOBEL is optimising the structure of its permanent capital through a balance between capital and long-term debts.

The target is to maximise the value for the shareholders while maintaining the required flexibility to achieve the development projects. Other elements, like the expected return on each project and the respect of a number of balance sheet ratios, influence the decision taking.

27) PENSIONS AND SIMILAR OBLIGATIONS

The pensions and similar obligations cover the obligations of the Company as far as the group insurance is concerned.

The Belgian defined benefit pension plan and defined contribution pension plans with guaranteed return are funded through group insurance contracts. The plans are funded through employer and employee contributions. The underlying assets of the insurance contracts are primarily invested in bonds. The defined benefit plan is closed for new employees. The plan participants are entitled to a lump sum on retirement. Active members also receive a benefit on death-in-service.

The French retirement indemnity plan offers a lump sum on retirement as defined by the collective labor agreement of the real estate industry. The plan is unfunded and open to new employees.

The liabilities of the Belgian defined contribution plans with guaranteed return and French retirement indemnity plan are recognized for the first time, and this through a past service cost of - EUR 178 thousand.

The provisions related to the sales mainly consist of rental guarantees, good end of execution...

No provision has been recorded for the other litigations that mainly concern:

  • problems of decennial guarantee for which the Group has recourse on the contractor who is generally covered by an insurance of "decennial liability coverage" for this purpose,

H. STATUTORY AUDITOR'S REPORT

Statutory auditor's report to the shareholders' meeting of Immobel NV/SA for the year ended 31 December 2020 - Consolidated financial statements

In the context of the statutory audit of the consolidated financial statements of Immobel NV/SA ("the company") and its subsidiaries (jointly "the group"), we hereby submit our statutory audit report. This report includes our report on the consolidated financial statements and the other legal and regulatory requirements. These parts should be considered as integral to the report.

We were appointed in our capacity as statutory auditor by the shareholders' meeting of 28 May 2020, in accordance with the proposal of the board of directors ("bestuursorgaan" / "organe d'administration") issued upon recommendation of the audit committee. Our mandate expires on the date of the shareholders' meeting deliberating on the annual accounts for the year ending 31 December 2020, in view of Article 41 of EU Regulation nr. 537/2014 that states that as from 17 June 2020, an audit mandate can no longer be prolonged for those audit mandates running 20 years or more at the date of entry into force of the regulation. Due to a lack of online archives dating back prior to 1997, we have not been able to determine exactly the first year of our appointment. We have performed the statutory audit of the consolidated financial statements of Immobel NV/SA for at least 24 consecutive periods.

REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unqualified opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of the group, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flow for the year then ended, as well as the summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The consolidated statement of financial position shows total assets of 1 431 million EUR and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income shows a profit for the year then ended of 37 million EUR.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group's net equity and financial position as of 31 December 2020 and of its consolidated results and its consolidated cash flow for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in Belgium.

Basis for the unqualified opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA), as applicable in Belgium. In addition, we have applied the International Standards on Auditing approved by the IAASB applicable to the current financial year, but not yet approved at national level. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Responsibilities of the statutory auditor for the audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our report. We have complied with all ethical requirements relevant to the statutory audit of consolidated financial statements in Belgium, including those regarding independence.

We have obtained from the board of directors and the company's officials the explanations and information necessary for performing our audit.

We believe that the audit evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters How our audit addressed the key audit matters

Project development costs and revenue, including those costs and revenue in investments accounted for under the equity method

  • The group recognized 414 million EUR of project development revenue and 315 million EUR of cost of sales (including an amount reported in the net result of joint ventures and associates of respectively 50 million EUR and
  • 14 million EUR). • The group contracts in a variety of ways. Each project has a different risk and revenue profile based on its individual contractual and delivery characteristics.
  • The measurement of revenue from the sale of development projects is a key audit matter due to the significant expertise and high level of judgment required in particular for:
  • assessing the contractual terms of sale and settlement risks to determine when the risks and rewards of ownership transfer to the purchaser: at a single point in time (at completion upon or after delivery) or as construction progress (on the percentage of completion basis);
  • determining the total costs to complete, including land acquisition costs, construction costs, development related costs and eligible capitalized interest;
  • assessing, when the revenue should be recognized on percentage of completion basis, the stage of completion of the project based on the proportion of contract costs incurred and the estimated costs to complete and the expected margin of the project.

  • We designed our audit procedures to be responsive to this key audit matter. Our audit procedures included:

  • Understanding of the group's processes regarding project management covering sales, purchases and project feasibilities. The relevant controls were subject to testing of both the design & implementation and the operating effectiveness.
  • Reviewing the main projects on a discussion basis with the relevant project manager to assess the management estimates and the margin recognized during the period. This review was covering construction status and commercialization and was performed by comparison with the updated feasibilities and prior year figures. Any material deviations were investigated.
  • Testing a sample of projects based on quantitative and qualitative information such as sales value, potential settlement risk and complexity of the contractual terms. For the sample selected we have:
    • traced a sample of sales recorded to the underlying sale documents and the receipt of cash;
    • assessed the group's determination of the risks and rewards related to ownership transfer by a detailed analysis of the contractual terms of sale against the criteria in the accounting standards;
    • recalculated the recognized margin over the period considering the actual recognized cost incurred and the project's expected profit margin.

Reference to disclosure

The revenue from the sale of projects recognized in the period is disclosed in Note F.2 of the consolidated financial statements. The costs of the projects are disclosed in Note F.4.

Note E.16 of the financial report discloses the accounting policy for recognition of such amounts.

Recoverability of Projects under Development carrying value of inventories, including those in investments accounted for under the equity method

  • The group capitalizes development costs into inventory over the life of its projects. The inventories amount to 997 million EUR as of 31 December 2020 (including an amount of 314 million EUR reported in the investments in joint ventures and associates).
  • Development costs include the acquisition costs, development costs, borrowing costs and all other costs directly related to specific projects. An allocation of direct overhead expenses is also included.
  • Inventories are stated at the lower of the acquisition cost and net realizable value for each development project.
  • The recoverability of these costs is a significant judgment as this assessment includes assumptions about future events which inherently are subject to the risk of change. These assumptions include future sales prices, total estimated costs of completion, selling costs, the nature and quality of inventory held, location and economic growth factors.

Changes in the group's assumptions may have a material impact on net realizable value and therefore in determining whether the value of the project should be written down (impaired).

• This is a key audit matter given the relative size of the inventory balance in the consolidated statement of financial position and the significant judgment involved in the estimates used to calculate the net realizable value and the timing of recognition of the capitalized incurred costs.

  • We designed our audit procedures to be responsive to this key audit matter. Our audit procedures included:
  • Understanding of the group's processes regarding project management covering sales, purchases and project feasibilities. The relevant controls were subject to testing of both the design & implementation and the operating effectiveness.
  • For a sample of projects, we performed a risks analysis to review the ability of the group to sell those projects with a positive margin. Our selection of projects was based on quantitative and qualitative information such as inventory value, permit risks, economic conditions. We also selected projects, which have previously been impaired or where sales realized were not in line with projections. For the sample selected, we:
    • enquired with project manager and management to develop an understanding of the progress of development, the risks associated to the project and the projected performance. We also assessed their basis of estimates of net realizable value used;
    • inspected project feasibility and assessed the assumptions used in forecasting revenues and costs to complete by comparison with market data or similar transactions;
    • agreed a sample of costs capitalized over the period to invoice, including testing whether they were allocated to the appropriate project;
    • assessed the calculation of revenue and the related cost of sales recognized in the period against the criteria in the accounting standards;

• assessed whether the carrying value is the lower of the expected net realizable value and cost. - Testing of the financial cost allocated to the development business and thereafter capitalized to individual projects.

The costs of the projects under development are disclosed in Note F.17 (for projects owned in investments accounted for under the equity method) and F.21 (Inventories) of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note E.12 discloses the accounting policy for recognition of such amounts.

Responsibilities of the board of directors for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in Belgium and for such internal control as the board of directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the board of directors is responsible for assessing the group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters to be considered for going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the board of directors either intends to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or has no other realistic alternative but to do so.

Responsibilities of the statutory auditor for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a statutory auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISA will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

During the performance of our audit, we comply with the legal, regulatory and normative framework as applicable to the audit of consolidated financial statements in Belgium. The scope of the audit does not comprise any assurance regarding the future viability of the company nor regarding the efficiency or effectiveness demonstrated by the board of directors in the way that the company's business has been conducted or will be conducted.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISA, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from an error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
  • obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the group's internal control;
  • evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the board of directors;

  • conclude on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the board of directors and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our statutory auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our statutory auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group to cease to continue as a going concern;

  • evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities and business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the audit committee regarding, amongst other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the audit committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and we communicate with them about all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated to the audit committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our report unless law or regulation precludes any public disclosure about the matter.

D. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Tangible assets are recorded as assets net of accumulated depreciation, at either their cost price or contribution value (value at which they were brought into the business), including ancillary costs and non-deductible VAT. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method. The main depreciation rates are the following:

- Buildings 3 %
- Buildings improvements 5 %
- Office furniture and equipment 10 %
- Computer equipment 33 %
- Vehicles 20 %

Financial Fixed Assets are entered either at their purchase price, after taking into account any amounts still not paid up and any writeoffs made. They are written down if they suffer a capital loss or a justifiable long-term loss in value.

Amounts Receivable within one year and those receivable after one year are recorded at their nominal value. Write-downs are applied in case of permanent impairment or if the repayment value at the closing date is less than the book value.

Stocks are recorded at their purchase price or contribution value, including, in addition to the purchase price, the ancillary costs, duties and taxes relating to them. The infrastructure costs are recorded at their cost price. Realisation of stocks is recorded at the weighted average price. Work in progress is valued at cost price. Profits are, in principle, recorded on the basis of the percentage of completion of the work. Write-downs are applied as appropriate, according to the selling price or the market value.

The sales and the purchases of properties are recorded at the signature of the notarial act in so far as the eventual conditions precedents are lifted and a clause of deferred property transfer is foreseen in the compromise under private signature

Short term investments are recorded as assets at their purchase price (ancillary costs excluded) or contribution value. Their values are adjusted, provided that the depreciation is lasting.

Cash at bank and in hand are recorded at their nominal value. Values are adjusted if the estimated value at the end of the financial year is lower than the book value.

At the close of each financial year, the Board of Directors, acting with prudence, sincerity and in good faith, examines the provisions to be set aside to cover the major repairs or major maintenance and the risks arising from completion of orders placed or received, advances made, technical guarantees after sale or delivery and current litigations.

Amounts Payable are recorded at their nominal value.
